If Freehold cannot beat Brick with the 11-12 players that they have been playing with all season then can they claim they are a top team? If you're going to beat them now is the time with missing key players & no keeper. Also think Wildcats will keep the game close with GFA so should be interesting tonight. Good luck to all 4 teams.

The only person saying that is the coach himself, because he believes that if he says something often enough it will become a truth. What a tool - I mean fool - ? watch you pocket books - watch your kids

NJCSA had good soccer minds - then they brought on DM - That proved that they don't have soccer minds - he knows nothing about the game. Did he ever play? Not at a high level - maybe an adult league at the Atlantic club what a joke.

How many players did Freehold lose midseason to Match Fit or NJCSA? I saw them play @ PDA tourney & looked like they had a full roster? Will naming the new coach scare away even more players to the point they won't have a team? Freehold has made some strides just never got over the hump maybe due to focus seems to be on basketball & not soccer. Hope this is not another town team that will go away.

Wildcats' goalie deserves a gold medal. Her performance was amazing. IGFA could have won by 5+ goals. On the other hand, Wildcats had only one shot on goal (including overtime) 5 mins to go from a direct kick. The direct kick could not be executed better - great goal. Under normal circumstances, the result would be 5+:1. Possession - probably 80:20 or maybe even 90:10. Practically it was a game on one half.

Just a troll . Nothing else. Nobody here is going to say anything. Congrats to all teams that made it to the semi. Let's see who is going to the final. Stop writing fake messages just to create problem.

9:01 that post isn't about the girls. That's from a loser parent that lives their life on this blog. Half of the posts in here don't reflect the girls anymore. It's crap between the parents and nasty comments about coaches. So that ignoramus is not calling the 14 year old girls losers but rather their parents and coaches.

I think you're way off base. You're fooling yourself if you don't think players come on here and post. Sometimes it's blatantly obvious.

There are many better teams, for sure. However, what is your measure for the A,B,C level??? If IGFA beats PDA Splash 6:1, Pen Fusion 2:0, HBC 2:0, etc... there must be some different leagues we don't know about that you are referring to. This team is far from the best but close to one that can challenge any team. If you don't see it, you must be blind, ignorant, and brain-less.

1:04 am ( ?? Should be asleep instead your jealousy still keep you up)C level soccer? Ok so that means that ALL of your daughters teams are playing c level soccer in the tri- state area.you comment is based on hate . Tell us where your daughter is playing in order to be on A soccer level. Please help us mr A level idiot

It is very difficult to play against a team which has only one strategy - kick ball out and defend with all 10 players in front of your box. If you add an amazing GK to it, it can be difficult to score even if you have possession 90% and the game is played on one half.

But I think you don't understand because you are probably one of those who prefer this style just to win. So, enjoy your jealousy and hate so you can have a very typical - negative Sunday behind you.

You can't be happy if you are hate. Join others who are on the same frequency with you. And leave us - the soccer lovers alone.

GFA is awesome, such a long history of state cup titles, EDP titles. Win 1 tournament flight and they are the best team to ever lace them up. Everyone stop playing now. All college coaches will be at GFA games, your daughter will be lucky to get looked at by a community college. There is GFA and then everyone else. Their other age groups are also the best of all time.

News Update: The ECNL just folded, they heard GFA wants in. Everyone too scared to play them. EDP cup just cancelled. GFA entered at all age groups, tournament now pointless. Second place trophies only.

IGFA parents why are you on this blog posting your scores and chest thumping? I don't think anyone truly doubts the team is on a great run. But why come on here and constantly re-in force your point of view and get slammed by trolls? It is an endless cycle and completely pointless. Instead of earning the respect of others you are putting a target on the team. Grow up and stop living through your daughter. Teams with a future stay above the fray.

I can tell you one thing, GFA is going to look beyond stupid if they lose to a Brick team that has multiple injuries that include the starting keeper coupled with the fact Brick hasn't scored one goal in EDP yet. Keep on trash talking.

8:41 everyone is posting scoring during weekends why IGFA should not. To be happy for a good game is bad? Most of the post here are from people that want to create some kind of trouble . Why I do not know. If you look at the blog there has not be much bragging from IGFA parents at all , even when all other teams were bragging about killing them , shut them down etc.. Do not believe all the trolls over here. Nobody really cares about having some kind of recognition out of a blog like this one.Even the last comment about Brick being all done it is just a way to out some pressure around. It is all good , no problem . What you say doesn't matter anyway

Which team will be weaker next year NJCSA or PDA Shore? I heard PDA Shore offered a lot of people spots saying they are in their top 11 then when people turned them down starting calling others using the same line so I'm sure that team will not be very strong. NJCSA I can't imagine will add very good players because of the coaches rep so it's an interesting debate of which will be better so close to each other.

Wall Wizards winning and turning into high quality team. Two big wins over the weekend. Don't believe the stories no one is leaving Wall not the way this team is playing. The coach is doing an amazing job with this group.

10:22 - Glad to see some kind words from an opponent rather than the bashing that goes on with other posts. Last night was a competitive match and GFA team continued to show that they are a quality team. COPA has adjusted to its changes, is getting stronger and is expecting to continue to challenge you next time we face each other.

Old Bridge is the team to watch. We are well on our way to an undefeated season in EDP against the big boys like STA, MF, and stronghold. This is the next great team and they are showing it now as we will be state cup champions this weekend.

Things are never what they appear to be and Wall is great example. People on this blog keep saying Wall is losing players but its not true. No one would except low level players will leave this team. Coach has high level trainer from SST training this team. New field no one would leave Wall. Why would they leave

If Wall is losing a couple of players I'm sure their are players that may be seeking to play for that team. Not everyone falls for the tall tales that NJCSA have told the players that came to their tryouts. At least PDA Shore has the top girls club in the country behind them. NJCSA can't even get their the boys on the academy teams good looks from top D1 schools.

Why would a parent from Wall come on here and state that "they know for a fact" that they are losing players. It has to be a parent or that new coach from NJCSA trying to break up a team. So that he can steal money from them, history always repeats itself with that guy.

Wall did lose to Middletown at PDA tournament, looking at game history, 1-0. But I like local town teams, they work hard, usually blue collar side and cannot attract the top quality. I love GFA, not sure why they are bashed. Also like Brick and Freehold for their years of service. I think the pda shore thing was bound to happen. TRIC also has a good local Ocean county group with some talent.

NJCSA is like a bunch of snake oil salesmen. Or at least one. Why would anyone believe the bull being served up. I'm sure their current top players will leave with that coach that has taken over. And the foolish will invest and be taken to the cleaners by the new coach. He has zero soccer knowledge and it will all correct itself in the end.

Well get ready your Leader added 10 already and you already had 22 on roster. Now offers player U16 on team that only has 7 players to fill up low level team. It is about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Wall players are all going to wildcats and NJCSA . Not other teams you mentioned earlier. Wildcats is collecting some brick players as well ( if the wildcats parent before doesn't know yet then he is the only one). Pda shore will take all the other brick players

Old Bridge - I wouldn't get too arrogant about being the next State Champs....Bridgewater is a formidable team and they don't use thug tactics to win a game....Oh, by the way...most players/coaches know about the offisides traps you set time and time again playing in a game. Bridgewater...play on the diagonal and avoid their traps. Let's see how many yellow cards Old Bridge gets this weekend????

Bridgewater is a formidable team? Haters here go crazy and nasty is a parent of a certain team post simply the score of a game " too much bragging" but I guess is ok for all other teams ( wildcats strongest team / copa will put you back in your place/ freehold and NJCSA new top teams ) . Ok noted

Why isn't the NJCSA coach on here telling the world that he has top players from Brick, Freehold, etc.?

Because he doesn't have them, and he has fooled a few but they will figure out very quickly that he is no respected at all in the soccer community, and pull back their commitments.......hope they didn't give him any money - if they did he already spent it and he probably by passed NJCSA

So the winner of the UEFA Champions league is the only true champ and the low level MLS is nothing? Wait only the Olympics counts? Nope the FIFA world cup is better? Who cares, let them be happy to be the best at "their" level.

Here is a fact. NJ Wildcats picked up 3 very good Brick players, 1-2 very good Wall players, and 1-2 NJCSA players as well. Wildcats already have a pretty good starting 11 and now have added a very strong bench and starters into their rotation, and positioned very nicely going into U15-18, the years that matter the most to prepare for college. Wildcats, PDA, MFA, Copa, are all proven clubs at the next level (college) and produce college ready players! That is a fact people as well...Look at their websites and college commits. You do not see this for a lot of so called town teams...Wildcats also have a full development pyramid for youth players and W-team/U23 for college players. TSF and Wildcats are the only 2 clubs in NJ that have W-teams. As a parents this is what you want to look at as well when deciding on a new team or tryouts season as well. Good luck to everybody as these decisions are very tough on the players and parents...Do what is right by your daughter and not listen to all the BS and sales pitch...

With all the talk of Brick players leavig for other teams - is Brick officially done?? Wall too?? Sad if true. The owner of the wildcats is one of the shadiest guys in the nj the soccer world. Different kind of shady than the NJCSA situation , but shady nonetheless.

"Wall Wizards are seeking to add a few players for next season. If you have interest please send email to: walllwizardssoccer@gmail.com. The team trains several times a week and would like interested players to attend training."

to all of you that bought into the selling of these clubs, wish you luck, but many will be very disappointed in the lack of playing time your child will get, poor training, etc.., if your not on MF or PDA's ecnl team then you are just on another team, all are the same. But you will be paying more for nothing and you could have put that into a college fund!

Oh no, you're inviting the bashers to come out. I can't advise since unfamiliar with NJCSA and their coach. But seems to me that you can't rely on advice here since anonymity prevents you from gauging source of comments and the merit of their advice.

Your a great source for soccer advice a parent of player who has played for 4 teams in 4 years. "None of us" that is really comical. Over 40 players came out to tryouts so not sure they need you. Wildcats have over 40 players, PDA Shore has 5 good players and a bunch of bottom bench players, NJCSA will be the same as they are now an okay team not more not less, Wall will be a low level team, Brick is GONE, Freehold will be same, NJX will be same less a few good players. The question is which of these groups will make players better ? Wish I knew that answer.

Sta is still a great team, NJCSA is in the semifinals of state cup so the team is strong and tight. They will be both great teams also next year. If you want to go to a new team this is the options in my opinion:PdaMFStaNJCSAStallionsOld bridgeFreeholdCopaThey all play great soccer with great coaches

Very true that many players turned down spots on the Toms River I mean PDA Shore team in this age group after seeing the players & asking questions they realized team would not be strong & over priced to be the D-team. People that did accept will figure it out a year too late & will have to start all over again because they were too easily sold a bill of goods. NJCSA will also move backwards if that's even possible under the new direction they went in to just get the Atlantic Club access. Both not worth the money.

"Wall Wizards are seeking to add a few players for next season. If you have interest please send email to: walllwizardssoccer@gmail.com. The team trains several times a week and would like interested players to attend training."

This blog is very interesting at times, and it is always very telling when the administrator only takes down certain posts.

So we know it is true that many of the current NJCSA players (the top ones) are leaving the team and the new coach is scrambling to keep anyone. There are no ex force players going to play their, there are no Brick players going there, from what this blog says there are only 2 wall players going to the team. It is not PDA Shore that will not have a team, it is NJCSA that may not have a team. And if they do, it will be a non competitive team. It looks like NJ Wildcats will have either two teams or one with a huge roster of 25+ players. So they have a strong starting 11 now and they are brining on the top 2 or 3 from the current NJCSA team, one or two from NJX, at least 7 from brick, what are they going to do with all of those players. Cash their checks!!!

I think many maybe thinking, wow, what am I getting my daughter into to, is everything they are promising true? Is she really in the Top 11, come on man!

"Brick was not good so why does anyone care where there players are going. Have not been good since U12"

Not so good compared to who? They have beaten every top team in the state at one time or another, including the mighty PDA Splash. What do you want, undefeated?? They have been anything from very good, to competitive. To say they have "not been good" since u-12 is simply not giving proper credit where it's due.

Brick has gotten worse every year since U12 look at this Spring it has been awful. As players get older it is more about soccer than just kicking and running. If players were happy why did they all run away. They saw that no development was happening. PDA & MFA are only places developing players.

So all the chatter has stopped about NJCSA, that is because that team will be irrelevant, none of the players they thought were going there have committed to the team. Everyone figured that situation out, for those that have committed to play, yikes, it will not be what you were told, and shame on them. The former force players would not be fooled twice, learn from them and run for the hills while you still can.............

Don't know about kill especially when they have been undermanned & struggling to score but could see them relying on experience to pull out a tough win. If this is truly their last season then since we're not playing I too will be rooting for them.

6:15 Its not about the money to parents who know and love high level soccer!! Its about PDA and the money!! They have compromised all their morals for money. It used to be prestigious to play for the almighty PDA but now they have forgotten what got them there. Sure, their will be good players whose parents have deep pockets and keep the factory going, but they are not attracting the players they once coveted. Shame on them. One thing I always tell my children as they grow in life. do not ever forget where you came from, no matter how successful you become. From an outsiders point of view I think PDA is ignorant to this and so you have it! be wise and best of luck in your adventures.....

10:17. The team is building. Teams build from the top. IF you did sign up- ask the Coach directly- don't go by the haters on here. 25 is a stretch. IF you signed up then you are part of the team so ASK questions. I wouldn't have my daughter playing anywhere else.

My child does not play on the wildcats - but I like this team. Nice girls and they have added some very nice players over the past couple of years. I know that the girls this season got a lot of playing time between both league games and playing up. I would not be a big fan of a larger roster but if he rotates ALL the girls out and gets extra games, I think that would be ok. what you want to avoid is the have and have not situation - especially if you are a have not!

I only saw some OT, but NJCSA wasn't "dominating" at that point for sure. They looked like they had more follow up to their chances - keeping it in the attack end when it got there by pushing up a lot of girls, but they gave up a few easy breakaways because of that one of which led to the winning goal for Marlton. Marlton had a few other good scoring chances as well so wouldn't say they were dominated. NJCSA couldn't seem to get any good shots off even when they had numbers pushed up.

NJCSA did well, made it to the semis, lots of girls coming to tryouts. Coach is liked by all girls in the team and we are all happy. More girls will come to make this team one of the best out there. Best players are all staying to build this great team. Brick players were on the field next to NJCSA and I am sure they would have liked to be there already.

Why is anybody talking about the B version of the state cup? Ooooohh lets see who is the best of 30-50 in NJ... Enthralling stuff... Old Bridge, Marlton, NJCSA, Bridgewater... None of them worth mentioning.

Parents of those 4 teams please read this and know that nobody cares about your level of state cup and tournaments. You are absolutely nowhere near the GFA's, Barons, STA's and PDA's of the world and never will be.

Enjoy your moment tomorrow if you win... And again remember... We don't care. Most of your players can't trap a ball.

The fact that you are one of the biggest losers doesn't matter to the rest of us either. Let everybody enjoy success at their level of play. Reality check loser - most of these girls on all levels will be done playing in the next four to five years and 99+% of them will be done in eight - you will be a loser the rest of your life.

To 6:21....your comments are rude and unwarranted....there are varying degrees of athletes on every team, in every sport in every country in the world. Just because your daughter may know how to "trap a ball" doesn't make her a great player.....hell, you should shut your trap; but let's see how long that last.....you shouldn't be bashing other players and when you make general assumptions you make an yourself look like a bitter fool.....well your certainly class run amuck.

I have an honest question. I was just looking at the roster from the US Club ID2 training camp in NC last month. The girls were mostly born in 2001. 5 PDA girls and 1 MF girl, but none from all these other teams that you speak about. Why is that?
